Abstract

This article examines the relationships between public housing policy, the fear of crime, and the elderly. This article utilizes data collected from public housing residents in Omaha, Nebraska. Previous research has shown relationships between victimization and fear, the environment and fear, sociological factors and fear, and demographic factors and fear. The results of the current research find support for linkages between particular forms of social disorganization and fear, social integration and fear, and certain demographic categories and fear. Of particular interest, the findings also show a direct effect between the type of tower (mixed versus elderly population) residents live in and fear. Most notably, however, in the final analysis the data do not support a relationship between respondent age and fear of crime.
